You no deal with China, there is no issue unless you greedy like most CCP pretending to be nice guy.

Good luck with voting with your wallet. Many people just pay lip service with "buy local even if it is more expensive" but when it's time to actually do it, they can't. Just ask Americans.

actually photographer job 9.9/10 con job. they also cut throat all the time. now china peiple come in take their job then cry father cry mother. same like last time introduce ehailing, taxi driver cry father cry mother.

you see 1 year how many wedding fair? wtf weh, you think they no earn cut throat? they even hire china makeup artist and photograher. All printing, editing job and album printing job outstource to taobao also.

what if that local biz gets all their services and products from China?
can still support?

that's issue with competitive marketing strategy ma.. can copy their package style and compete with them la

Why support local business?

Go any local hardware shop and check the prices.

They are selling things 3-20x the price of same item where u can find on shopee and taobao.

Not going to support any local crap that sells 3-20x price compare to taobao

Female pads ? What’s the story

Nice.. faster sapu property for them to rent and rent high high to them lo

What you trying to say by make informed decision ?

After knowing local seller sell China made products more exp than shipping from China still support ?Thats dumb shit there, not informed decision.

What's in it for me to support local, when my wallet bleed ?Sohem meh and dislike money ?

Taobao selling CNY 200. Local seller on Lazada sell RM 200. Lowyat sell RM 250.

U in retail, dont know ?

90 days sleep under the bridge ah?

I buy cheap universal adapter, the hardware shop Taipan charge rm3 a piece. I buy 5 pieces rm15.

On Shopee, it cost rm0.65 a piece. 5 pieces cost rm3.25. Prolly can find cheaper if I look for it on Taobao.

We are not comparing brand A and brand Chinam
The above scenario is the hardware shop bought it cheap from China and reselling it at 5x the price.

I do understand some willing to pay more for better quality product but in this case, we are comparing apple with apple. So, why pay more if they are exactly the same?

And yet still cheaper in Taabao n Amazon vs local retailers for Chnya n non Chyna made/brand stuff

Let me try explaining it clearly to you.

1) We are talking about same item, same manufacturer. So no difference in quality.

2) But the same item sold in Msia via online or worst retail is much more expensive than Amazon/Taobao
Get it ? Really need to breakdown point for point meh. Siao wei
